The Unfamiliar Player | Kei Tsukishima

13 (十三): Actual Game

5/5/2020 (59 Days)

[Name] looked down as workers started to set up the court. While other teams were already down at the court, getting ready for their match. The place was bustling with teams, families and bystanders. Turning around to look at her team, everyone got ready. Tsukishima hadn't talked to her that much after the hug a few days ago, happened. Her heart ached as he basically ignored her existence.

She heard as some guys near them talk about her team. "I heard that they have one guy that 190 cm tall but I don't think he stood out much during the Inter- High prelims."

[Name] grew annoyed as she was about to walk and punch the guy.

"Not to mention, their two lefts are pretty scary. They look like power spikers."

"But not to mention, their manager's cute! Or rather, she's hot. Or rather, she's sexy!"

The boys turned and stared as Kyoko walked towards the team, passing the group of boys who watched her every move, awestruck.

[Name] looked at Hinata as he was shaking, his face looked as if he was malnourished. "Hinata, are you okay?!" She asked, stepping closer to the boy.

"Yep, I'm fine. I threw up on the way here, so I feel better."

Looking at him with wide- eyed. She tilted her head to see if he was actually okay. 

"Of course you'd feel sick after eating all those pork bowls for breakfast." Tsukishima teased, smirking as the two looked at him.

"It's normal to eat pork cutlet on game days?"

"And.. by normal, you mean?"

"Hinata, boge! Boge!" 

Tobio scolded the boy who looked deathly pale. After a while, Yamaguchi and Asahi started to look sick as well. [Name] looked in her bag to get the boys some medicine to take or a drink to calm their nerves down. It wouldn't be good if they all weren't at their best.

"The first match is done. Let's go."

Daichi called, earning a roar from everyone as they all walked onto the court. [Name] knew she couldn't sit with Kyoko on the court so she had to go to the bleachers. 

"Kei!"

Tsukishima turned around and was engulfed with the scent of strawberries. Looking down, the girl hugged him. Letting out a breathe, he gave her a quick hug back before walking onto the court, with a slight blush on his cheeks.

[Name] looked at the boys before she ran up to the bleachers and sat down, watching them practice and warm up.

She watched Tanaka pray before running and spiking the ball with as much power as he could.

"Take this, damn it!"

He yelled, shutting some of the Ohgi Minami members up. [Name] laughed at his action and laughed. She was relieved that Karasuno looked like they had a lot of energy compared to a few minutes before.

"Hey guys! Remember what you can do! You can fly!" [Name] shouted as she thrust a fist towards them. Tobio and Hinata nodded as everyone on the team held a fist back up at her before walking to the line to bow and start the match.

After a quick discussion with the coach, Daichi decided to boost the morale.

"Karasuno, fight!"
